Nick, how right you are! What the hell were we thinking?
When I first saw the title of the subject I thought "Whatever Will Be, Will Be" (Doris Day) yet I listed "Mona Lisa" which belongs in "Rear Window".
I can't believe I didn't catch on (neither did stella).
Yet the question was posted wrong from the getgo.
Perhaps I need a long rest. Thanks Nick.

I also heard that Tyrone Power and Cesar Romero (who never married) were very close friends. They even went on a trip together. BUT WHO CARES!!!!!
Just what is this facination that you have with Tyrone Power rogan? Let the man rest in peace already. The poor guy must be turning in his grave.
Let's just enjoy all the wonderful movies that he made
especially since he died making one.

tcmfan the song written for "Laura" is called "You Go To My Head" however I'm not certain if its the music that is played in both the films you mentioned.

"The Little Princess"?

Spencer it looks like "Cold Mountain" was shut out of a few big ones including Best Picture, Actress and Director. However it looks like Jude Law in "Cold Mountain" replaced Russell Crowe. I was glad that Patricia Clarkson finally got a nomination since she has done good work in many other films.
Where did "City of Gold" come from? And who is Keisha Castle-Hughes and Djimon Hounsou?
I must admit that I'm not familiar with some of the nominees at all.
In any event you scored highly with your predictions...as usual.
